This paper analyzes the role of communication between firms in an infinitely repeated Bertrand game in which firms receive an imperfect private signal of a common value i.i.d. demand shock. It is shown that firms can use stochastic, inter-temporal market sharing as a perfect substitute for...

This paper describes a way to model a seasonally and irregularly peaking price dynamics, as that originated in commodity and energy markets, using a system of coupled nonlinear stochastic differential equations. The specific case of an electric power market is used to show which microeconomic...

This paper discusses a rather general approach to build nonlinear dynamic models that reproduce some important aspects of electricity price series, as spike and antispike dynamics. Two specific models are proposed first in a continuous time form, then in four discrete time forms. It is then...

Fixed costs of ordering items or setting up a process arise in many real-life scenarios. In their presence, the most widely used ordering policy in the stochastic inventory literature is the (s, S) policy. Optimality of (s, S) policies and (s, S)-type policies have been investigated for various...

In this paper we analyse a dynamic model of investment under uncertainty in a duopoly, in which each firm has an option to switch from the present market to a new market. We construct a subgame perfect equilibrium in mixed strategies and show that both preemption and attrition can occur along...

We extend the arithmetic multi-factor electricity spot price model proposed by Benth, Kallsen & Meyer-Brandis by adding stochastic mean-level processes to their model and by taking additional information on the future behavior of these mean-level processes into account. The available...

We present a duopoly model of strategic capital accumulation in continuous time with uncertainty, such that investment takes the form of singular control. Spot competition is of Cournot type. For this model there exists a parameterized and Pareto-rankable family of Markov perfect equiblibria in...
